It may be a long few years for us, my friend! *g* Seriously, I get great joy out of watching you travel your own road through the mad jungle that is this fandom. I'm pretty sure that in any number of ways (more, even, than all the usual ways! *g*), what you're in search of and what I'm in search of are very different things. Nobody could have better company on the long, strange road. *hug*
